From the CMD’s deskDear Friends,

Welcome to Jiyomaxe, our first newsletter for our esteemed customers that gives you an insight into the world of Omaxe.

In our history spanning over 22 years, we've been constantly setting new benchmarks in the field of real estate. We have dared to dream big and through hard work and unwavering determination turned dreams into reality and in the process, earned unconditional faith of all our stakeholders. During our journey, we have faced many challenges but have, each time, come out stronger than before.

Today, with over 40 projects at various stages of development, spread over 33 cities in 9 States, we are an organized force to reckon with in the real estate industry. Our world-class residential and commercial projects are continuously changing the landscape of various cities across the length and breadth of India. This year some new launches are planned for Chandigarh, Lucknow, Faridabad, Yamuna Nagar, which also includes the expansion of the next phase of integrated township Omaxe New Chandigarh in Punjab. In Chandigarh, we have launched independent floors and plots for which we have received tremendous response. Similarly, in Lucknow, we have successfully delivered 2 projects and are presently working on developing an Integrated Township of 102 acres and Hi – Tech Township of 2,700 acres.

Despite all these, we can't afford to rest on our laurels and enjoy complacency. Continuing to strive harder, we have several projects in the pipeline. A few prominent ones include the group housing project Omaxe Residency in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh and a commercial complex Omaxe Connaught Place in Greater Noida.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our investors and customers for having reposed unflinching faith on us, without which our journey could not have been successful. I would also like to assure you that we'll leave no stone unturned and continue to deliver quality services.

Thank you for your constant support, understanding and love.

Regards,

Rohtas Goel

EditorialDear Readers,

It gives us immense pleasure to present before you the 1st issue (April-June, 2011) of our newsletter for customers, Jiyomaxe.

Right from the very first step Omaxe took 22 years ago, it has taken you into confidence. You as a partner, client, customer, investor, and a stakeholder play a very important role in building Omaxe. Omaxe understands and appre-ciates that.

The newsletter is an attempt to brace you up with the developments in the company and the Indian economy as a whole. The Reserve Bank of India’s effort to curb inflation has translated into rate hikes. This has impacted home loan borrowers, who have been facing a tough time by way of either a rise in their EMIs or extension of the loan tenure. We attempt to bring to you the prevalent interest rates of various banks along with the recent market news and updates that concern you, corporate India and the Indian economy.

Besides, we also intend to familiarize our esteemed customers about the company’s various projects and a status report on the same. We thought it proper to update you about our presence in the media through the section ‘Media presence’. You also get to learn some valuable tips from Vaastu Expert.

Omaxe has also taken up this responsibility of providing urban lifestyle at a moderate price throughout India. Omaxe believes in creating an Integrated Dwelling place -- residential plots, expandable villas, group housing, and shopping mall, shops cum offices, shopping kiosks, schools, crèche and in-house club with facilities of games & sports and so on.

Additionally, Omaxe, under its outreach programme, Omaxe Foundation, has started many initiatives that touch the lives of people who are outside the corporate arena. Omaxe Foundation is geared to meet all the challenges on its way to bringing smiles to the families of its construction workers. It aims to build human capital through community participation, which will make our country stronger, healthier and happier.

You can also play an active role in any of the skills development, educational, health or social awareness programmes conducted by Omaxe Foundation according to your interest and ability. Unleash your talent, reach out and bring smiles to hundreds of people around you. We assure you of immense joy.

We are more than hopeful that like we enjoyed making this newsletter informative, presentable and readable, you will derive equal pleasure while reading it.

We look forward to your feedback and suggestion.

Happy reading

Smaller cities attract large realtors: CRISIL Research

Price stability and growth prospects of smaller cities are attracting large real-estate developers. The developers are diversifying from metro cities with an eye on future growth. A recent report released by CRISIL Research, titled ‘Real(i)ty Next: Beyond the Top 10 Cities of India’, estimates the sales of new residential apartments in 10 such smaller cities at around Rs 180 billion in 2012.

The study details the planned supply, the expected demand and the outlook for prices in 65 submarkets across the 10 cities: Bhopal, Bhubane-swar, Coimbatore, Indore, Jaipur, Lucknow, Nagpur, Surat, Vadodara and Visakhapatnam. Almost 354 million sq ft of supply has been planned in these cities over the next three years.

Property prices in the Delhi and NCR region moved up by 17% in Q1-11

A study by 99acres.com, real estate portal revealed that the property prices for the Delhi and NCR region has seen an escalation if we compare per square feet prices(PSF) of Q1-11 over Q1-10. This clearly reflects that the overall sentiment of the sector has improved drastically since the down-turn and the property prices across the city have appreciated considerably. A look at the property prices of key localities of Delhi show that Sarita Vihar and Rohini has seen a 27% and 20% appreciation in prices if we compare Q1-11 prices over Q1-10. The prevailing rates of the localities are at Rs.11345psf for Vasant Kunj and Rs.8133psf Mayur Vihar phase 1.

RBI lays out strict rules for banks lending to real estate sector

In a letter to chiefs of banks, the Reserve Bank of India has laid out strict due diligence for banks in sanctioning loans to the real estate sector. RBI said banks should leave no stone unturned to verify the documents, including cross verification with the local administration, to ensure that frauds are eliminated. "In case of loan against the security of land, banks may also seek reports from local revenue authorities regarding the title deeds before sanction of loan," RBI said. "Wherever docu-ments of title are submitted as security for loans, there should be a system where documents of title are subject to verification regarding their genuineness, especially for large-value loans."

RBI rate hikes to pinch home loan borrowers

Following RBI’s rate hike on May 3 by 50 basis points and June 16 by 25 basis points, banks have stepped up their home loan rates by 50 basis points with only a few banks hiking deposit rates. The repo rate (rate at which RBI lends to banks) now stands at 7.5%. However, RBI’s move to hike saving bank rate to 4 per cent will also fetch consumers more, especially against a high rate of inflation prevailing in the economy. Inflation in May shot up to 9.06 per cent. A consistently high is threatening to slow down growth with policymakers warning revising growth estimates downwards.

Real Estate Regulation Bill sent to Law Min

SK Singh, joint secretary in the Ministry of housing and urban poverty alleviation said that the draft of the new central Real Estate Regulation Bill 2011 has been sent to the union law ministry for its comments and clearance. The new bill excludes the subjects of land and colonisation, as they are both state subjects. It deals with consumer interest, fraud and cheating, contractual obligation. Once this bill is in place, all developers will have to register with the regulator and provide all details of their projects, include land and clearances, before they can advertise to the public.

1. Plots should be either square shaped or rectangular – never triangular, circular, hexagonal, elliptical or zig-zag.

2. While building or planting a garden, it’s ideal to leave more open space in the East than in any other direction.

3. Doors and windows should be East-facing. This ensures maximum benefit of morning sunlight. Limit

number of openings to the West and South as afternoon sunlight isn’t very beneficial.

5. At the time of making a building, make sure that it has open space on all sides. The levels of open spaces should be higher in south and west sides and lower in north and east side.
